Water Volume and Your Brain
We've all heard how water is essential to life, after all, your adult body should be approximately 70 percent water.
What you probably don't know is that as little as 2 percent drop in water volume results in a number of anomalies that affect the brain, notably fuzzy thinking, short term memory loss, cognition difficulties and a whole host of other brain and body glitches.
As the body grows older, its perceived need for water is harder to recognize.
The thirst mechanism turns off and the body gradually loses more and more water.
When the brain is in a water deficit, it becomes more and more difficult to remember every day things like where you left your car at the shopping mall, if you can even find your car keys to get you there in the first place.
Trying to remember phone numbers and to take your shopping list with you to the supermarket that are all every day activities can accelerate brain aging.
An internal drought can create a state of depression when combined with a stressful emotional situation while trying to cope with attention demanding everyday life occurrences.
The brain cannot process these simultaneous activities to the point where it incapacitates the person.
The longer the confusion and inaction occurs, the more pronounced different clusters of symptoms become, creating a label of illness based on behavior and level of capability to carry on life.
As the results of water drought deepen, short term memory loss and emotional stress can deepen.
Even problems associated with social interactions with others can become nearly impossible as the brain goes into fear and anxiety disorders.
A dehydrated brain finds it hard to sleep, remember, calculate, perceive, and cognize.
In certain individuals, the blood flow to the brain can be reduced by up to 20 percent which makes feeding the brain and oxygenating it more difficult.
To improve and restore brain function, it is important to replenish the body's water supply.
Hydration is one of the most important factors affecting health.
Studies show that water loss mimics all kinds of health conditions and it can even affect the ability to perceive hunger correctly.
In studies where people perceived they were hungry, a glass or two of water caused hunger pangs to disappear for up to several hours.
Along with improving the body's water supply, improved diet and exercise helps.
Certain foods like Omega 3 oils, fish, fruits and vegetables are a good start.
Add a few brain stimulating activities like word games, crosswords, reading and even jigsaw puzzles will stimulate the brain into more efficient function.
Meditate and drink green and black teas.
Invite a friend over to join you.
Alkaline, ionized water is one of the ways to efficiently and effectively improve body hydration while avoiding caffeine, alcohol and sugar.
Water deficiency can be severe enough that it can permanently damage brain and body tissues.
Drinking at least 2 quarts of water per day relieves stress on our bodies and brains and shows us how dehydration can push us into an insidious oblivion where we can lose ourselves to the point where there may be no escape.
It's really not worth it.
